I am looking forward to the long weekend. We will be closed Saturday-Monday for Memorial Day. We all could use a little rest around here. I have plans to do as much of absolutely nothing as possible…and mow. Unless I can get my wife to do it. I can play the broken leg card but that’s getting old with her. It’s like she expects me to do house work and stuff. Weird, huh?

Any way, we are still plugging along with the plants and flowers. We are doing a lot of counting today to get our inventory numbers more accurate. My apologies if you did not get something you ordered this week. Due to the exceptionally late spring, we were in a holding pattern with our products. As the season progressed we were pulling the best from multiple plantings, product was skipped over, cut back and thrown away. All that shuffling makes it very difficult to keep an accurate inventory so when we get to the end of our season, we were off a few (or more) in our inventory. I am sorry for any problems that may have caused you.

I added in our last basket inventories this week with new inventory for Wave Petunias, Impatiens and Begonia baskets that I forgot about last week. They all are just now ready and look great. As for every thing else, we are going though it all today and grading out the bad and tossing it so that we can keep our quality up. We will continue to do this as we finish out the spring.

We are also ready for fall so don’t for get to book any mums or pansies you will need for fall. You can contact your sales rep for a item list and prices.

Back to spring. Here are my Top Five picks for what looks best for next week:
